After the Royals won last year’s World Series, the San Francisco Giants sent 25 pizzas to the Royals. The Giants were the defending World Series champions and they had received pizzas the year before from the Boston Red Sox, who won the title in 2013.

So the Royals are paying it forward.

“It’s a really nice touch for the team that won it all the year before to send it to those folks who worked so hard,” the Royals' VP of publicity Toby Cook told the Star.

Though the Giants' act of kindness didn't quite work out for most members of the Royals' front office.

“Somehow the word didn’t get to us and so they sent a bunch of pizzas and we were all out doing parade prep that day,” Cook said. “So it ended up a lot of part-time folks ended up getting a free lunch that day.”
